You can debug the client's behavior by entering signalk-js-sdk/* in Server / Server Log debug value and check Remember debug setting to keep the value over restarts.
How recent is your server - when did you last update it?
It is the version supplied in the latest "openplotter" 1.37.3
I tried it again with the debug setting and this time I could see the "back off and reconnect" process running ... we are installing it on the boat today, so after this, debugging will be a bit more difficult as we don't have internet on the boat .. but I shall use the debug filter you mentioned and try to capture the data when it does it again.
Thank you for your assistance.
Just for info, at the moment the only thing I can see in the log that looks like an error is:

I think it was in the "host alive but did not connect" state at this point.
